A Chicago Alderman is calling for city council to renegotiate the recently passed mobile food truck ordinance. Earlier this week WBEZ reported the ordinance may actually end up hurting the ice cream truck industry.

When the hotly contested mobile food truck ordinance passed a month ago, ice cream trucks were not part of the conversation.

He said the ordinance’s hearings were instead focused on cooking regulations and proximity to nearby restaurants.

But it turns out ice cream trucks are also subject to the new law’s restrictions. They, too won’t be able to sell near area restaurants or other mobile food truck stands and will have to install GPS devices on every vehicle.

Arena added, “This is small business. These are the littlest guys on the ladder, and if we don’t pay attention to that, then I just don’t think we’re doing well in terms of government.”

Existing laws already ban ice cream trucks from the streets of 10 wards. See the map below for the restricted areas.

Arena wants the city council to go back and take a comprehensive look at all food truck legislation. He said he’ll bring the matter to Rosemary Krimbel, the city’s Business Affairs and Consumer Protection Commissioner.
